What is TRUE HEALTH?

Health does not mean mere existence. Keeping out of the hospital is not health. To be able to resist disease, to bear strain, to stimulate mental vitality, and to feel the body as a luxury—as a bird feels when shooting through the air, and as a child does always—is health. Paramhansa Yogananda

Retreat Weekend includes:

Introduction to the Yogoda Exercises: an adjunct set of movements that complement and expand the Energization Exercises as taught by Paramhansa Yogananda

Paramhansa Yogananda discovered in 1920 that the body can be recharged like a battery. Western doctors, such as Dr. Jerry Tennant, who wrote Healing is Voltage, corroborate and expand on this with research delineating specific muscles powering specific organs. Emotions are also associated with organ/muscle sets and this will be touched on in class briefly.

Guided Relaxations/Visualization/meditations for healing 30 minutes at end of each class.

*Note: if you would like Yogananda’s Vitality Beverage served with each meal it is a $75 option. Six – 8 oz servings. Because it is hand made with fresh veggies, it is an extra.

Required Book for this class:

How to Achieve Glowing Health and Vitality by Paramhansa Yogananda. You can find it in our Boutique at Ananda Laurelwood or order it online from Amazon.
